Looks like I have a new local member.

Glad Downer's demon child didn't get. But with her name she'll get in soon enough.

Robb was a shocker as a local member so even Alexander's bub would most likely have done at least as well.

I didn't realise he had left HRC. Left a turd behind on the website though. What a knob.

To be fair he is probably the most talented youngish person in the LNP

If you can tell us who else might possibly lay claim to that title we can vote on it

Wasn't he your standard bearer in the fight against the insidious sectiom 18c of RDA? You so fickle Meds dear.

He is running unopposed I believe.

It's been a convincing campaign from one of the LNP's biggest campaigners

 

[nylexbandit]

Sukkar seems quite good in the limited capacity I've seen him

 

[FredLeDeux]

Just another IPA nail in the Liberal Party coffin, condemning it to long-term ideological idiocy and irrelevance.

He is still carrying on about east west link and has done nothing else in 3 years. From the right wing catholic bloc.

Do not rate

I don't rate anyone from that mob based on policy, but think he's one of few with a bit of intelligence. If he had a bit of nous he could make some crap statement about labor being the reason for no paid parking at Eastland and he'll canter in

Yes he got that right but he was a hypocrite for taking the job in the first place. As if we need a "human rights commissioner". Fatuous nonsense.

When you mentioned Turnbull making dodgy appointments prior to calling the election, was it this sort of thing - jobs for LNP supporters - that you meant?

If you a public servant you can't run for parliament, they should extend that rule so that you cannot run for parliament if you have had a government position above a certain level in the last 5 years.

That makes sense to me in terms of making sure people are committed to being non-political. I also would quite like to see easier ways for public servants to be dismissed as this seems to be an ongoing issue, and the old idea of Privatisation is an expensive and unpopular way to get around it. But that's a different issue, and of course you don't want ideologues coming in and sacking everyone who doesn't agree with them.

That is what happens at the end of every election cycle, especially recently where the governments have been polar opposites and playing musical chairs with the PM's job.

Yes, from memory they were the only jobs the current Liberals cut after promising they would sack 12,000 public servants.

I can't believe they are even in the race for a second term. Surely no-one will ever break as many promises as them.

The election is over after events on the weekend.
LNP only need to put the idea in the electorates head that Labor is soft on terrorist asylum seekers and they will romp in.

I'm not so sure.

Turnbull isn't Abbott, likewise the ALP took a bipartisan approach to all of the Govs nonsense.

Finally, the Sydney siege happened under the Libs. At the time this was a poll booster but on reflection and given the hooha surrounding its handling, I think a pivot to scaremongering would be a bad idea.

They haven't got any other play.
The cynic in me thinks there will be a big hoohaa anti-terrorism arrest in the week leading up to election day.
It is what we have been reduced to, unfortunately.

Whilst I sort of agree, and if the ABC etc. are genuine they will belt Turbull over the NBN and economic performance, I think the terrorism card means a return to Abbott style government.

SMH would pillory them over it.

Malcolm Abbott, yesterdays scare campaigns etc. will be painted as desperate.

I'm not sure we ever left the Abbott style government, let's just say the charade would be over if the terrorism card is played.
ABC/SMH might go to town on Turnbull but we both know Murdoch's rags rule the marginal seats. They will plaster it from front to back and Abbott and co will be out spruiking it like it is a good thing at Flemington on Melbourne Cup day instead of the last thing anybody would ever want to see in their own backyard.

Yep. Over 100 IIRC and I'm sure plenty of them would be very well paying. Very grubby stuff.
